AFN: 8CFL-26 Copyrighted material George II succeeded to the British throne and the electorate of Hanoveron the death of his fa ther, George I, in 1727. Born on Nov. 10, 1683, inHanover, he remained largely Hanoverian i n his interests, although,unlike his father, he learned fluent English. He visited the electo rateregularly during most of his reign and sometimes utilized his position asking of Englan d to the advantage of his German territory. Although George has been represented as a king manipulated by his ownministers--notably Sir R obert Walpole and the duke of Newcastle--and byhis highly intelligent wife, Queen Caroline (1 683-1737), he was by nomeans a weak monarch. He played a larger part in the direction of fore ignand military policy than most contemporaries suspected, and at Dettingen(1743), in the Wa r of the Austrian Succession, was the last Britishmonarch to appear in person on the battlefi eld. His reign witnessed thefinal collapse of the Jacobites after their uprising of 1745 an d closedwith Britain's brilliant successes in the Seven Years' War (1756-63)under the leaders hip of William Pitt the Elder. George had long detestedPitt, but he eventually came to recogn ize his merits. George's son, Frederick, predeceased him, so when George II died on Oct.25, 1760, he was succ eeded by Frederick's son, George III. Although hewas vulnerable to management by others, Geor ge II was undoubtedly aknowledgeable and skillful politician, within the narrow framework ofH anoverian interests in which he worked.
